After a long 20h trip stopping over Dubai, sleeping in Manila, riding funny tricycles and a boat I finally made it to Boracay!!! As usual I was very well welcomed, this time by local rider Reo and Normeth (North dealer) and It makes it every time nicer to visit a new place. When taking the domestic flight toward Boracay and passing over the island it just looks amazing, nice white sand beach with turquoise water and coconuts all over the place… But I wasn’t expecting such a big kite community… It’s really one of the biggest kite destination in Asia, just like Cumbuco in Brazil or Cabarete in the Caribbean. You can feel very good vibes between all the people, locals are very friendly and always smiling and you can find as usual huge parties right on the beach after a big kite session and a huge sunset. For all these simple reasons, Boracay is one of the best kite destinations for holidays in winter and summer!
In addition the wind has been very good for my 5 days Kite Clinic that we organized together with Normeth and Angel, the North dealers, and it was a very good experience for me and I believe a good success. We had a bunch of riders from all levels and ages and I appreciate a lot when seeing them smiling and happy as they landed a new trick. It’s well fun and always cool to teach stuff to friendly and motivated people. So definitely doing it once again! I’m putting a gallery from the whole Kite clinic where we all wear very cool shirts that Normeth made specially for it!!! I find them really nice.
I could also train a bit with the guys, for the clinic I even trained some local riders in order to get prepared for the final of their tour (KTA) in which I’ll also take part next week.
Now my good friend Florian Daubos from Naish has just arrived and we’ll be doing a trip with French Kitesurf magazine. Already got some good stuff. Susi Mai is also joining and Tom Court who had to come but sadly broke his finger went back home from Australia… I’ll also be filming a bit for the next North Kiteboarding DVD which will soon be out.
For the little story, the Philippines have 7107 islands in total, but this during low tide, when tide goes up some islands are so small that they disappear for some hours leaving it around 7100 islands…
Cheers!
